Episode One- Part Two
"OH, DEAR!" PEACH pulled back from the kiss she had been sharing with Falcon. "You told me she wouldn't be here tonight! Does this mean you're backing down from your promise?" She snapped angrily at him.
"I didn't think she would." A panicked look crossed his face as he spoke to Peach. Then he turned to face Samus, trying to figure out how to word the situation. "Babe, I told you not to come by today. Last week, I think it was, we agreed not to meet tonight. Didn't we?"
"And now I can see why! How could you do this? And how long have you been keeping this up? And you, Peach, did you think you could get away with this? I could go to Mario right now!" Samus tried to hold back her tears. They wouldn't know if she cried because of the helmet, but she didn't want to be crying over something like this.
Falcon stood up from the couch and walked to Samus. "Listen to me, babe. I don't know what happened! I was only making an agreement with her for the gang to beat up some moron that's been stalkin' her, and suddenly we were sharin' a kiss! I had nothin' to do with it, you have to believe me!"
"My God, Falcon!" Peach stood up and joined them. "You don't even bother to tell her the truth? Doesn't she deserve to know the real deal you wanted to make with me? I'm going home!"
"Wait, Peach! I'll tell her!" Too late, the purple-wearing princess gave Falcon a final glare, then left, slamming the door and nearly knocking it over. Samus gave him a look of impatience, that he knew how to read through her visor mask. "I'm sorry, babe. She started that whole kissing thing. I had nothin' to do with it, honest!"
"Save your breath repeating yourself!" Samus snapped. She felt angry enough to break his back, but restrained herself. "You'll never be seeing what under my suit ever again, because I'm leaving you. That's right, I'm going away and never coming back!"
To her surprise, Falcon laughed. "You! You're leavin' me?" He managed to get out between huge guffaws. "That's really funny, babe! You can't leave me 'cause I'm the leader of the Blue Falcons. You even think about it, and the whole gang will be on you like stink on Donkey Kong."
"I have been thinking about it for weeks. You don't appreciate me, so I'm leaving you. Go ahead and send the gang after me, I can take 'em." What was she talking about? The Blue Falcons controlled the city, there was no way she would ever be able to defeat even one of them. But her mouth just kept going, like it was being run by someone else. "You guys are going to learn that I'm not the girl you wanna mess with."
"Is that really so, Samus?" Falcon was still trying to recover from his laughing spell. "I don't know what kinda joke you're tryin' to play on me, but it's a really funny one. Perhaps you should go home and we can talk about this tomorrow."
"No, we have to talk now." Zelda's words of advice came back to her. Samus had to make him listen if she was going to get anywhere. "Our relationship is going nowhere but downhill. We need to end it now!"
"Listen to yourself, babe. You need to think everythin' through then come back and talk to me again. How about tomorrow at lunch? Now you're just angry 'cause Peach was all over me. Don't worry, though, Mario will talk to her and everything will be fine. Get over your anger tonight and then tell me if you still think we should break up." Falcon rubbed the armour covering the small of her back. "I can even walk you home, if you like."
There was nothing to say. It was obvious that Falcon wouldn't listen to her now. What she needed to do was try talking to him tomorrow, like he suggested, at lunch, when she could have Zelda supporting her. "Nah, I can walk myself home. But I guess you're right, I need to think things through. See you tomorrow, then."
Damn! As soon as she walked away, she knew she should have tried to get the truth out of him. If Peach really was into Falcon, like he pretended, she would have been happy to see them fight. She wouldn't have dropped the hint that he was lying then walked away angrily. It was too late tonight, he would lock the door now so she couldn't get back in, but tomorrow she was going to make him listen to her. He'd have to change his ways or risk losing her.
Maybe.
"SO, DID YOU talk to him?" Zelda asked eagerly after meeting Samus on the walk to school. "Is he going to treat you better? Link said he tried to go over there last night, but Falcon's door was locked and there was no answer. Everything went alright, didn't it?"
Samus didn't want to answer any of the questions, but she knew they had to be soon. "When I went over there, he was all over Peach." Zelda gasped, but Samus continued. "I tried to talk to him, but he would only say that I was angry over Peach being all over him He told me we'd talk again during lunch today. You have to be there, otherwise I may not be able to do it."
"I can back you up, but you have to learn to do this yourself."
"I know, this is just the first time I've had to do this. Falcon was my first boyfriend, you know. I never thought we'd have to break-"
Samus found herself being interrupted by someone down the street calling her name. She and Zelda turned to see that it was, of all people, Peach. Wearing a white dress today, she was running towards them, a look of fear burned on her face. "Samus! Please, you have to help me! He's after me!"
"And who would that be?" Zelda spat at her. "Falcon has no reason to want anything from you. Oh, wait, he probably wants to kill you for killing his relationship with Samus."
"Ha, Zelda. I never knew you could do sarcasm so well." There was as much tension as ever between the two women, but Peach was too panicked to keep it up. "You have to hide me somewhere! He's been after me for weeks. Mario's not around to protect me all the time anymore, and I can't protect myself."
Zelda and Samus traded looks that doubted any truth to her claim, but they decided to help her all the same. If she thought they saved her, perhaps she would be a bit nicer for a couple days. They pulled Peach by the arms into the nearest building, the Aiming Practice Center, for safety.
"So, Peach, who is it?" Samus asked. "Who's following you if it's not Falcon?"
"Hey, what are you doing here?" The voice of a young male made all three women jump. Samus looked up to see a person she recognized from school, Fox McCloud. Behind him, watching curiously, were his friend Falco Lombardi and the mysterious telepathic Mewtwo. "You're not supposed to be here, are you?"
